The Audi RS badge represents a similar spirit as the BMW M icon. It's one of the ultimate crosses between luxury and sport. The 2015 Audi RS 7 is designed for that exact purpose. Of course, an extremely well executed example of this nature comes with a hefty price tag. The RS 7 starts at 108900, placing it safely out …
Audi really needs to do something to put to rest the idea that you will need major engine work at or about 100k. I love there cars. But the little voice in my head keeps hammering home that you either trade it in or suck it up and pay the big bill to fix or replace the motor when the head gaskets let go at 100k.

Audi could care less, the people buying RS7's are not the ones who will have them past even 30-40K miles. I wish they were better about it but the cars new at that price range are bought by people who could care less. The few that really do drive to 100K buy Porsche's.

I think you can safely put BMW in the same category as Audi.
I got passed by an RS7 in that battleship grey Audi has. It looked the business, and I would buy one in a heartbeat if there was a remote chance I could spend $100 large on a car. Though I would put a set of these on mine, instead of the inevitable black wheels that it had. Black wheels are soooo boring.

My comment is more a general comment about Audi not specific to that car.
Ohhhh For got to add that I think the RS 7 is probably one of the 10 best looking cars new cars in last 10 years. The 5 is also very close to making that list as well. There is a proporshinality that cars have to have of hood to cab to trunk length as well as hight. The 7 I think gets it really well. The funny thing is the other car I can think of that "got it" is the 1992 Acura Legend. Proporshinaly it looks good.
I think the RS5 also gets it
The RS7 misses the mark just a little as it is starting to look like a bubble with a snout.
